Fishing near Avon, NC

Avon sits on Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where the warm Gulf Stream and the cold Labrador Current converge closer to shore than anywhere else on the East Coast north of Miami. That collision of currents draws an exceptional range of species to the beaches, sounds, and open Atlantic. The Avon Fishing Pier — a 600-foot wooden structure that has anchored the community since 1962 — is the area's most storied landmark, and the surrounding surf, sound, and offshore waters keep anglers busy year-round.
